	Magnitude: 5.0 Angular size: 10 degrees Barnard's loop is a massive object that can only be seen visually with special filters. Photographing the loop is not too difficult but making the nebulosity stand out against the background takes some extra processing. Go to AP#25 NGC 2170/2182/R Monoceros Return to AP100 main page.
